Splitter sidelined with ankle injury

All-Euroleague center Tiago Splitter of Caja Laboral will be sidelined for two weeks due to an ankle injury, the club announced Monday. Splitter suffered the injury midway through a Spanish League game against Meridiano Alicante on Sunday. He left the game was not able to help his team in the second half. Further research confirmed a bone bruise in his left ankle and Laboral has opted for conservative treatment.

Splitter, an All-Euroleague second team selection last season and first team in 2008, has averaged 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2 assists in 11 Euroleague games this season. Splitter was one of the five players - along with Carl English, Mirza Teletovic, Pau Ribas and Fernando San Emeterio – to take part in all their team’s Euroleague games so far this season.
